Mu Nian's Adam's apple rolled slightly.

The abnormal rhythm of his heart made him lower his eyes.

Only then did he find a glass of wine in his hand, raised his head and took a sip.

A young girl next to him sighed with emotion, "Xin'an is such a beautiful little girl...right?"

Mu Nian looked at the girl politely, "My sister has always been so beautiful!"

Being watched by so many people, Luo Xin'an was a little nervous at first, but she soon adapted. Her smile became more generous, her steps became brisk, and she began to search for familiar figures in the crowd.

During this search, she first noticed that Mu Nian was chatting and laughing with a young lady!

There is a bit of a strange feeling.

However, the peace of mind quickly digested.

Everyone is looking at her, she can't do anything abnormal!

When she got down to the first floor, Luo Xin'an turned around amid the applause, only to realize that her two sisters didn't accompany her down - they were standing on the second floor, smiling at her.

This is her own path.

They knew she could finish it alone.

Luo Xin'an also smiled at them and motioned for them to come down.

Because what follows is a very formal ceremony—

Next to the exquisite multi-layered fondant cake and the beautiful giant bouquet, two balloons were floating, which was the number "17".

Luo Xin'an cuts "7", "7" will float away, "8" will slowly float up from the ground, and finally form "18".

"18" also means that Luo Xin'an has reached adulthood!

After the whole process, Luo Xin'an was naturally happy, especially since her family was here.

After the ceremony, everyone started playing.

People kept giving gifts to Xin'an, and Xin'an accepted them, and the servants delivered the gifts to her room.

Before long, the gifts in Xin'an's room had piled up into a small mountain.

Luo Xin'an didn't expect that the last person to give her a gift was Mu Nian.

The gifts her family gave her should have been put directly in her room, and Mu Nian did this

?

Is it a surprise?

Luo Xin'an asked curiously, "What's inside?"

Mu Nian smiled and said, "It's just a gift. I hope you like it!"

So...what about the surprise?

It doesn’t seem right to ask that!

Luo Xin'an hugged the gift, "Okay, I'll open it and take a look!"

She turned around and ran back to the room. Among the piles of gifts, she opened Mu Nian's gift alone.

It's a set of jewelry.

They are either the kind that are particularly mature and elegant, or the designs are very trendy and suitable for daily wear, ranging from necklaces to anklets.

Everything is beautiful and I like it very much.

Mu Nian's taste is indeed very good!

Finally, Xin'an took out a ring from a set of jewelry.

The ring is neither too big nor too small, just right for her.

But this is a ring...

Is it appropriate for Mu Nian to give it to her?

Oh, it comes with a whole set of jewelry!

Luo Xin'an told herself not to think too much!

Lu Xiangyi knocked on the door and came in, "Xin'an, everyone is looking for you. What are you doing in the room? Hey, are you starting to open gifts now?"

She took a closer look and found that Xin'an opened one, and couldn't help but wonder, "Who gave this?"

Luo Xin'an blurted out, "Mu Nian gave it to me!"

Lu Xiangyi then discovered a complete set of jewelry, and Xin An put the ring on his hand.

Mu Nian should still be special to her, right?

Lu Xiangyi touched the little girl's head and said, "Let's go downstairs first. By the way, do you want to change into a dress?"

Luo Xin'an chose a little black dress - it matched the ring even better!

Although pink looks good, she is a little girl with a personality!

Downstairs was more lively than before. Some people were eating, drinking and chatting, while the rest were dancing.

Luo Xin'an wore a little black dress and naturally received another wave of compliments.

Next, she started playing with everyone.

But from time to time, she would search for Mu Nian in the crowd. .??.

Mu Nian didn't dance, he just chatted with people. Sometimes he was his peers, sometimes he was elders, sometimes he was younger sisters or younger sisters.

He has been like this since childhood - no one of any age, male or female, can resist him.

During the years when he was studying abroad, his family thought he would become a playboy.

It turned out that he didn't, and everyone was quite surprised.

Luo Xin'an felt that Mu Nian still seemed to be on the verge of becoming a playboy.

Will he...become like that?

This question was about to trap Xin An, but someone came to Xin An to dance, which diverted her attention.

As they danced, Xin An's dance partner became Xu Zhengyu.

Mu Nian noticed it, narrowed his eyes and told Su Yinuo, "Keep an eye on this kid!"

Su Yinuo said lightly, "No need."

"Are you crazy?" Mu Nian blurted out, "He likes peace of mind, can't you tell?!"

Su Yinuo said calmly, "Xin'an is old enough to fall in love."

After hearing this, Mu Nian was startled for a moment, and a strange feeling surged in his heart -

Yes, Xin'an is no longer an immature little sister, she has grown into a young girl.

She is now old enough to fall in love...

Su Yinuo touched Mu Nian and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Mu Nian came back to his senses and turned serious in an instant, "You want Xin'an to fall in love with Xu Zhengyu?"

Su Yinuo smiled, "It's not who I ask her to talk to, it's who she likes to talk to!"

Mu Nian

With a questioning look on his face, he couldn't believe that Su Yinuo would indulge Xin An so much.

Su Yinuo allowed him to question, but always looked calm.

So, he wasn't kidding.

Peace of mind... I can really fall in love.

Mu Nian's heart suddenly felt a little itchy.

He is no longer a young man who is ignorant of the world, but a man.

His heartbeat had accelerated just now, and now his heart was itching. Naturally, he had realized something...

However, Xin'an is his sister!

The relationship between their two families is not that of family, but that of family.

His thoughts about Xin'an are not his alone's business, but the business of two families.

In other words, if he will hurt Xin'an or make Xin'an feel uncomfortable, he must suppress himself.

He is going abroad soon. It may take three years or five years.

He...has no other choice now.

Next, Mu Nian was a little absent-minded.

Xin'an had a great time, dancing from beginning to end with her classmates.

The guests left one after another, and in the end, only the classmate who was close to Xin'an was left, and Xin'an's dance partner changed to Xu Zhengyu again.

Xu Zhengyu said, "Anxin, the summer vacation is very long. My parents want me to go on a study tour. Will you go?"

Luo Xin'an shook her head, "I don't know, my brother said he would take me to play!"

"Which brother? It shouldn't be brother Mu Nian, right?" Xu Zhengyu said slowly, "I heard that brother Mu Nian is going abroad."

Luo Xin'an paused, and Xu Zhengyu stepped on her. She said "Wow".

Xu Zhengyu was startled, "You're not injured, are you?"

There were only a few people around, so Xin An's words naturally attracted the attention of her family, and everyone asked her what was wrong.

Luo Xin'an couldn't hear anything, all she could think about was Xu Zhengyu's words

"Brother Mu Nian is going abroad..."
